Hi Thomas, thanks a lot for your message. I think that the task to update the old Debian package with the new upstream release is quickly done by someone who knows about the current Lintian stuff, etc. I cannot do it in due time since it is too long ago when I was building Debian packages myself and I am not up-to-date for sure. Moreover, I could imagine that it is no mess for a current Debian package maintainer because the Perl module consists of only one file. I will try to contact and ask Debian's Perl package maintainers. That's actually a good idea.
